Held every 4 years, this year in
Rio De Janerio,
167 countries compete in many various sports & it's a Thrill to watch! It lasts a lil over 2 weeks. My favorite sport is gymnastics. Originated from sports events in
Olympia, Greece very many centuries ago!
I can't wait til The Olympics start! I'll be glued to the TV & get to see excellent athletes from so many different countries! I love the opening & closing ceremonies too & the lighting of
the Olympic Torch, the parade of flags from all the different countries. The
Winter Olympics occur every 4 years
staggered by a 2~year time frame from the Summer Olympics.
